conference

Last month, MDA brought together more than 400 of the nation’s leading scientists, researchers and professionals specializing in neuromuscular disease research and care at its 2015 Scientific Conference in Washington, D.C., March 11–14. This pre-eminent gathering, hosted every other year, was designed to accelerate discoveries and drug development for families fighting neuromuscular diseases.
